Created page and got as far as comment 0010695 on the bug
There is some complex discussion about how the names system in GRAMPS can be improved in future versions. There is a bug: http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=3161 and an email thread: http://www.nabble.com/Proposals-for-additional-name-fields-tt25356341.html

This page tries to collect and organise the discussion.
